SLMD481H08 Monocrystalline Solar Cell Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SLMD481H08 is a monocrystalline solar cell manufactured by ANYSOLAR Ltd as part of the IXOLAR™ series. This component delivers 178 mW maximum power output at 5.04 V open circuit voltage and is designed for photovoltaic applications requiring compact, high-efficiency solar conversion. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where this specific model is no longer available through standard distribution channels.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SLMD481H08 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Cell type must remain monocrystalline
• Open circuit voltage (Voc) must match at 5.04 V
• Voltage at maximum power point (Vmpp) must match at 4 V
• Current and power ratings may scale proportionally based on cell size and efficiency

Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

• Package configuration must be compatible with the original mounting and interconnection scheme
• Physical dimensions must accommodate existing mechanical constraints
• Thickness tolerance (2.00 mm) must be maintained

Regulatory & Compliance Criteria:

• REACH compliance status must be maintained or improved
• ECCN classification must remain consistent
• HTSUS code must align with the original classification

The SLMD481H08L qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching electrical voltage characteristics (5.04 V Voc, 4 V Vmpp) and identical cell type (monocrystalline). While the SLMD481H08L exhibits higher power output (714 mW vs. 178 mW) and different package configuration (Cell 16 vs. Cell 8), these differences reflect scaling within the same product family and voltage class, maintaining functional compatibility for systems designed to accept variable power outputs at the specified voltage.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement: The SLMD481H08L is the primary substitute for the obsolete SLMD481H08. Both components share identical voltage characteristics (5.04 V Voc, 4 V Vmpp), monocrystalline cell type, and regulatory compliance status (REACH Unaffected, EAR99 classification). The higher power output of the SLMD481H08L (714 mW vs. 178 mW) results from increased cell area and represents a performance enhancement rather than a functional incompatibility. Systems designed to accept the SLMD481H08 will operate with the SLMD481H08L provided that mechanical mounting and electrical interconnection accommodate the larger Cell (16) package format.

Compliance Considerations: Both the main part and substitute maintain REACH Unaffected status and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications, ensuring regulatory continuity for applications subject to export control or environmental compliance requirements.

Inventory & Availability: The SLMD481H08L is available in stock (716 Pcs), providing immediate sourcing capability for replacement and new design applications where the original SLMD481H08 is no longer obtainable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SLMD481H08L directly replace the SLMD481H08 in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided that the mechanical mounting structure accommodates the larger Cell (16) package (89.00 × 55.00 × 2.00 mm vs. 86.00 × 14.00 × 2.00 mm). Electrical compatibility is confirmed by matching open circuit voltage (5.04 V) and maximum power point voltage (4 V). The increased current output (178 mA vs. 44.6 mA at Pmpp) requires verification that downstream circuitry can handle the higher power delivery without modification.

Q: What is the significance of the different package configurations (Cell 8 vs. Cell 16)?

A: Package designation indicates the physical cell size and contact configuration. Cell (8) and Cell (16) refer to different substrate dimensions and interconnection schemes. The SLMD481H08L's larger Cell (16) format delivers proportionally higher power output while maintaining the same voltage class. Mechanical compatibility must be confirmed before substitution.

Q: Are there any regulatory or compliance differences between the SLMD481H08 and SLMD481H08L?

A: No. Both components share identical REACH status (REACH Unaffected), ECCN classification (EAR99), and HTSUS code (8541.42.0080). Regulatory compliance is maintained across the substitution.

Q: Why is the SLMD481H08 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued production and standard distribution. The SLMD481H08L represents the current-generation equivalent within the IXOLAR™ series, offering improved power output at the same voltage specification.

Q: What electrical parameters must match for substitution to be valid?

A: Open circuit voltage (Voc = 5.04 V) and maximum power point voltage (Vmpp = 4 V) must match exactly. Cell type (monocrystalline) must remain constant. Current and power ratings may scale proportionally based on cell area and efficiency, provided that the receiving circuit is designed to accommodate variable power inputs at the specified voltage.
